There's actually a get-together tomorrow night to celebrate an FTer's birthday. See this thread for details...

If you can't make that you're probably on your own. Post on that thread if you want to try & carpool. Not sure they'll check tomorrow but there's a chance.
Also, some FTers are getting together from 12:30-1:30pm at In-n-Out Burger (close to your hotel) for some FTers doing a MR w/ short layover. See this thread for details...

I just booked at this hotel for tomorrow night without knowing about that special. I ended up paying the same money without the 5000 points Originally Posted by Tom92591

I hate myself for not checking the spg forum more often 
. Called them but there's nothing that can be done at this point... Everyone's welcome to call me stupid!
Have Fun!
Many are the evenings I've been drinking at that superb Belgium beer bar there.
Last year or so we had a FT gathering there and a group of FT'ers got stuck into the dozens of exotic Belgium beers.
One Kokonutz was among them. We were drinking something called Vampires' Blood as I recall. About 10% alcohol, or near the same as wine.
Sadly for American wimps raised on 1 or 2% or whatever Budweiser, Coors and other local fizzy sodas, that kind of stuff sneaks up pretty fast.
Koko caught the shuttle to airport for his red eye to IAD, then fell asleep at the gate, and slept at the airport all night on a bench AFAIK until the next morning's flights rolled out.
Beware the Belgium Beer Bar a the Four Points LAX .. all ye who enter there.

Oz ain't kidding. I was drinking that Dracula as though it were Fullers or Boddington, you know, about one a half-hour. But the stuff's got a kick like Jack Daniels. Originally Posted by ozstamps

FYI: You are referring to another Starwood Property at LAX: The Four Points by Sheraton... this thread is about the Sheraton Gateway LAX. Originally Posted by ozstamps

Very different bar scene at the two hotels and wouldn't want any beer lovers to get mixed up with the "not quite ready to graduate to a W" scene at the Gateway bar & pool lounge.
